Overview

The Khare to Lukla Helicopter Shuttle Flight by Himalayan Helicopter is the fastest and most comfortable way to return from Khare (5,045 m / 16,552 ft) to Lukla (2,860 m / 9,383 ft) after completing the Mera Peak Climbing Expedition, Mera Peak Trek, or other adventures in the Hinku Valley. Khare is the final settlement before Mera High Camp and the starting point for Nepal's highest trekking peak, Mera Peak (6,476 m / 21,247 ft).

This helicopter transfer is ideal for climbers, trekkers, expedition teams, photographers, luxury travelers, documentary filmmakers, senior travelers, and anyone wishing to return quickly and comfortably after completing the Mera Peak expedition.
